Hydo's or Bags?

[arfrce1]

I was wondering if anyone had any input on experience with Hydro's or Air Bags? Prices and install? let me know

[SwiftyR]

i would go with bags.... even though u wont get the jump and motions like you would with hydro's.... bags are more reliable the only problem is bags blow.... hyro's use alot of power alot of batteries are expensive hyros leak... they both have the bad points......
BTW i just bought
2 450c Viair Compressors
1 5 gal. Viair tank

BAGS....hydros are cool cause they can make your car hop(only if the frame is strong enough) on the down side there are the bateries. bags are easy and cheap and realtively cheap

Bags all the way, they are far more reliable and cheaper in the short term and long term. Bags can blow, but that is without the proper lines and pressure regulators running to them, as well as a poor install job. I suggest running something other than rubber lines though. The rubber can contract and expand with heat/cold weather. Some people don't have problems, but I've talked to a lot of people that prefer to not run them.

The ride quality of airbags with a proper setup should ride as good as if not better than stock. Of course they will be somewhat rough, but once broken in are great. I agree with Swifty too, go with Viar compressors. Ekstensive Metalworks makes great control modules and regulators as well. To end a preperly installed setup should cost around $3500 dollars give or take on where you go.

By the way, where do you live? I may be able to recommend a shop near you.

bags man, either way you are gonna spend about the same,with right parts and a good fbss kit you are gonna be looking at around 2 to 3 thousand depending on the name brand and quality of your kit, plus if you don't have a good bit of tools and knowlege you are gonna pay out the ass to have someone do it for ya
